The Eastern Branch Bridge Dispute.
SETTLEMENT By COMPROMISE RELIEVED TO BE In
PROGRESS.
The case OF the United States against the Balti-
more and Potomac Railroad Co, to restrain the
latter from interfering with the construction OF
the Eastern Branch Bridge, was not called up to
day, and there Ia an impression about
the court house and about the offices
OF the railroad company here that
the case will not be called for hearing because
propositions have been made by the company
which IL Is thought the Government will accept
What these propositions are could not be as
certained, but Mr.. Taggert, who expected to call
the case up to-day, received an instruction that
he need not do So II is said at the Baltimore and
Potomac depot that the differences are In process
of settlement

Railroad Earnings.

While the railroad earnings. reported from
week TO week, certainly gratifying, there is
n possibility that the facts in the will be
overlooked. While the reports are made against
good earnings in 1886. il should be borne in
mind that the earnings reported in many
cases on an increased mileage The Financial
Chronicle of the 10th inst. gives the earnings of
104 roads, comprising GO, 600 miles, for August,
at $27 O1O 900. against $24 1884, 900 last year for
b6,593 miles. The Chronicle. apparently without
noticing the difference In mileage calls this COM
parison very favorable indeed" But the fact
last years rate Of earning would account for
81, 900. 900 OF the increase, and the fact that
August in 1887 had twenty-seven working days
instead of twenty six accounts for 81, 600, 900
which is about J. per cent. With great falling
off in the cereal movement it is doubtful if the
railroads can hod MP to last years average for
the whole country of a total earning of ST. ,000-
900 day, the year through.
